The cat has just eaten Louie, and the mice have played Taps. In comes Herman, bell salesman. He offers to actually bell the cat in this Famous Studios Noveltoon.
The cat looks like Katnip, but a little more..... modular. Also, he has no lines, none of those ill-tempered, mush-mouthed ripostes to the mouse.
You may surmise from that description that the Herman (with or without Katnip) cartoons are not favorites of mine. You would be right. They are too bloodthirsty; when Bugs blasts Daffy with Elmer's shotgun, Daffy need only swivel his bill back into place and comb out his feathers. This movie starts with the mice running for their lives from a hungry cat. When one turns up missing, you know it's because the cat has eaten him, as he will try to eat Herman.
It's skillful work, it has its clear aesthetic and it clearly was popular enough that they made more. It's simply not to my taste.
